Friends, we did it!

We prepared, tuned in, and wrote this year’s National Unity Radio Dictation together with Ukrainians all over the world. And, of course, we survived the lively ‘post-event’ discussion that has probably already become another national tradition. So it’s hard not to deny — our radio dictation truly unites us!

Our team also marked the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language properly — with a pen in hand, trying to quickly recall punctuation rules and keep up with the reader’s pace. And, to be honest, imagining ourselves as super-skilled philologists who could definitely write the life-affirming text by author Yevheniia Kuznetsova without a single mistake.

So we’re just as excited to learn about the most common mistakes Ukrainians made this year. Shall we begin?

• Не впівсили — an adverb meaning “not at full strength,” written as one word.
• По-справжньому — an adverb with the prefix по-, written with a hyphen.
• Між’яр’я — a word with two apostrophes: the first between the prefix and the root, the second after the hard р.
